Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine ground beef, cold water, garlic salt, oregano, pepper and paprika. Mix to blend well.

Divide meat into even pieces. Shape each piece into a patty, about 3/4-inch thick.

Coat patties with flour. Let sit for a few minutes. Then dip patties into beaten egg and into bread crumbs.

Brown patties on both sides in butter in a skillet. Arrange patties in a shallow baking dish.

Pour a little spaghetti sauce over patties. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Pour the rest of the spaghetti sauce over patties.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes or until patties are hot and cheese has melted.

Sprinkle with herbs and serve.
